About Campfire Audio
Campfire Audio LLC is an acclaimed American audio design and manufacturing company founded in 2015 by President Ken Ball and Vice President Caleb Rosenau as an imprint brand of ALO Audio, specializing in premium handcrafted in-ear monitors and audiophile earphones meticulously designed and assembled in Portland, Oregon. Founded by Ken Ball, the audio expert behind ALO Audio who started as a plant pathologist for the United States Department of Agriculture before transitioning to hand-building premium audio cables with Audio Line Out in 2009, Campfire Audio emerged from years of experience creating amplifiers, DACs, and hand-built cables to focus exclusively on high-end personal audio. Based at 2400 SE Ankeny Street in inner southeast Portland with a dedicated team of 20 audio lovers including skilled artisans who assemble each earphone by hand as a labor of love, Campfire Audio launched with their first three products in summer 2015: Orion, Jupiter, and Lyra (featuring the industry's first all-ceramic IEM body), followed by their flagship Andromeda in 2016 which became one of their most successful products. The company revolutionized the IEM industry with their distinctive super angular machined all-metal shells that caught widespread attention in the emerging high-end personal audio space, expanding from producing a few hundred earphones monthly with six employees to their current scale of twenty team members serving discerning audiophiles worldwide. Committed to delivering unparalleled audio experiences through innovative design and superior craftsmanship, Campfire Audio continues advancing portable audio technology from their Portland workshop while maintaining their founding philosophy that each handcrafted earphone represents a passionate dedication to connecting music lovers and creators with their art through exceptional sound quality and precision engineering.
